Concept explainers
a)
To determine: An exponential function of the form (where for growth and for decay) to model the situation described by considering the following case of exponential growth and decay, “The population of a town with an initial population of grows at a rate of per year.” And also identify both variables in our function.
b)
To determine: A table which shows the value of the quantity for the first units of time (either years, months, weeks, or hours) of growth or decay, by considering the following case of exponential growth and decay, “The population of a town with an initial population of grows at a rate of per year”
c)
To determine: A graph for an exponential function, by considering the following case of exponential growth and decay, “The population of a town with an initial population of grows at a rate of per year”
